Earn as You Learn

about

I wrote this about a young man who thinks he's ready to be a ladies man, but finds out he's not quite there yet. Ha ha.

lyrics

I needed money I wanted a job
Looked in the mirror liked what I saw
But I had to admit I was not quite there
So I made some changes to my clothes and my hair

Looked in the paper found this ad
Young man wanted to make me feel glad
So I called the number we made a date
She said come right over don’t hesitate

You can earn as you learn as you earn as you learn
Earn as you learn as you learn as you earn as you learn

I found the driveway the guard let me in
Opened the back door wearing a grin
There stood a woman who needed love
She had everything except me above

She was beautiful and twice my age
She was hungry her eyes were aflame

I said I’d like to help you but one thing I lack
Is the experience I think I’ll just go back

You can earn as you learn as you earn as you learn
Earn as you learn as you learn as you earn as you learn

Come to my room she said and let’s play a game
I said maybe later but thanks just the same
She said who’s paying for this anyway?
I said, you’re right so I guess I’ll play

Well my life story came out in a flash
Then she placed in my hand a wad of cash
Soon she taught me some new tricks
I did my homework I never called in sick

You can earn as you learn as you earn as you learn
Earn as you learn as you learn as you earn as you learn

I’m ready to leave my bachelorhood
I know she loves me she said I’m good
I said to her let’s move away
A house in the country where we both can play

She gave her answer and it caused me pain
She said easy tiger now let me explain
I want you loving but only when I call
Let’s not get in too deep and spoil it all

You can earn as you learn as you earn as you learn
Earn as you learn as you learn as you earn as you learn
